Just read this on aging and running.



This made me go all CG spreadsheet. Spreadsheet says old man Boxster would run a 27 minute 5k. **** that. Now I am tempted to really try a running comeback and go all age denial. I know I can't run 20 minute 5k anymore but damn, 27 minutes seems so ****in' slow!

Not feeling the aging love.

I ran 31 minutes in the 5K I just did, but that was because it was really crowded and I was running with a couple other people.
 
Looks like I will be unfollowing at least one guy on Twitter today. "Storm heading for Wichita has a hook and is starting to spin!" Check the radar...hook disappears on the next radar sweep and there is no rotation whatsoever on velocity....

I ran a 5k under 30 minutes once and I felt like my lungs were going to come out of my body. I was an offensive lineman because this body was built for short powerful bursts, not long distances.

Just like my sex life.

He was talking about the DJ "Storm" that's on his leg of his tour heading to Kansas.
 
You piqued my curiosity - I don't know that it's actually a racial slur. It's what people used to call those with Downs Syndrome due to the changes in their facial features caused by the Syndrome. Either way, it's not particularly nice.

That was where my comment of not sure if racist or just not PC came from.
 
Is that a cross between a Yeti and Yoda?

As far as the chocolate, I'm curious where you can grow Cocoa in Iceland. It can't be any good - I'll stick to my Swiss chocolate so I know that it is grown right there in the Alps.
It's simply a misspelling of Yeti. I'm not changing it though because a cross between a Yeti and Yoda would be awesome.

Damn. Going into the Donovan Jackson thread after missing it for the last few hours is like showing up late to a party, going up to the keg and hearing that khooogh sound as no beer comes out.
 
A term used for those of Central and Eastern Asian decent also. Definitely not used in polite conversation.


To that extent, yes...but it was originally used by anthorpologists & the like to define bone structure & specific characteristics along with the other three - Caucausoid, Negroid, and Austra-something (don't think it was Australoid) for the four distinct humanoid groupings. All four of those nomenclatures have fallen out of favor, but they were not deliberately "racist" to begin with, in the sense that the classifications were intended to have negative connotations. More like they were trying to identify origins.
 
LOL. And to think I feel guilty for reporting a clearly inappropriate post even though I've probably done it less than a dozen times in my entire time here.


If its the little triangle thingy, to report, I've never intentionally reported any. I have hit it accidentally about 5-6 times.

Sounds like running the Bix 7 with 15,000 others and jogging in place for several minutes before you even get to the start line. Start too far back and you are with dudes wearing tennis shoes and ear buds to listen to music during a race and realize this is a slow group. Go too far up and you look around and see guys with low bib numbers and bright colored race flats and realize you don't belong there either. :)
